"Case Study Methodology in Business Research sets out structures and guidelines that assist students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines to develop their case study research in a consistent and rigorous manner. It clarifies the differences between practice-oriented and theory-oriented research and, within the latter category, between theory-testing and theory-building. It describes in detail how to design and conduct different types of case study research, providing students and researchers with everything they need for their project." "This modular textbook is primarily aimed at serving research methodology courses for final year undergraduate students and graduate students in Business Administration and Management and is also useful as a handbook for researchers."--BOOK JACKET.
